Cummings selected NJCAA softball All-American
OVERLAND PARK, KS -- Krista Cummings, a freshman first baseman for the Johnson County Community College softball team, was recently selected as a NJCAA first-team performer. She is the 37th All-America selection for the JCCC softball program, and the 14th first-team selection.
Cummings, a power hitter from Liberty, Mo., set a new school record with 17 home runs this season. That total also ranks second on JCCC’s career chart, and ranks her fourth in the country. Cummings hit for a .429 average (75-for-175). She also had eight doubles and drove in a 52 runs. Her 75 hits were second on the team, and her 52 RBI were third. She also ranked tied for 27th nationally in runs batted in.
Cummings’ effort this season propelled JCCC to a 46-14 record and a second-place finish in the D-II National Tournament, the highest finish by a JCCC team in its history. Cummings was also selected to the All-Tournament team.
